Friday Quiz: Temperature Measurement

Try your hand at these questions about using temperature sensors and how they work.

The most common physical measurement made every day is temperature. It affects everything from the ice that fell from my roof this winter to the performance of semiconductors and electronic systems. One upon a time, most temperature sensors were connected by wires to a digital thermometer. Today many temperature sensors sit inside products to monitor their health.

The questions below cover the basic and the advanced. Give yourself a pat on the back, and take a long lunch if you answer all of them correctly. Answers appear on the last page.

Thanks for taking the quiz. I can talk more aout the question on page 4 but not yet for it would give away the answer on the comments. Maybe next week. I have enough questions in store for about two weeks. Questions are relatively easy to get. there are plenty of technical articles fromt eh old EE Times on the site and even more on EDN.
